That's the record as of today, though. OKC hosts the LA Clippers on Sunday, so this is the 2nd night of a back-to-back for the Thunder. Phoenix gets a full day off after the Warriors game before it travels. Sunday's result will set the record and the streak, and how many minutes Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams log against the Clippers is worth watching too. That's also why this board stays closed for now. The Thunder team that takes the floor Monday at 7:00 PM CT is 1 game away from existing.
The Suns' problem is the frontcourt. Mark Williams is out long-term after surgery on a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Oso Ighodaro missed the Warriors game with an oblique injury and hasn't been cleared for Monday. That leaves Phoenix thin up front against Holmgren, who just pulled down 17 rebounds against a Denver team built around the glass. Golden State was too short-handed to test Phoenix's size. Oklahoma City can.
Oklahoma City's injury list is mostly depth. Nikola Topic (back) and Thomas Sorber (knee) have both been out, and Otega Oweh (Achilles) is being waived. None of them is in the rotation the Thunder have been winning with, but Sorber is another big man who isn't available while Phoenix is short on bigs too.
For Phoenix, this is about whether the Golden State game was a turning point or just a short-handed opponent. Booker has carried much of the attention in the Suns' season outlook as he starts his 12th year. He has a new number and a new training routine, and he shot poorly in the preseason. A big night in a building where the Thunder have held opponents down would answer more questions than 43 against a depleted Warriors roster did. If Phoenix's rebounding falls apart again, the Portland game will look like the warning sign it seemed to be.
